Crossing the Line
She walked that fine line
each and every day,
as the demons deep inside her head
tried coming out to play.
She knew them for who they were
and the evil they could do;
She relied on prayer and medication
each day to pull her through.
Yet the voices, they persisted,
other personalities took control;
She no longer had the ability
to make them do what she was told.
That fine line was passed on the wrong side -
Her sanity paid the price;
The sanitarium is now the playground
to her demons who won’t play nice.
